Hey there! Welcome to Wintreath! I'm Rikuchar, an everyday concerned citizen! Due to past events, we felt it necessary to outline a few expected behaviors on our Regional Message Board (RMB). Don't worry, you're not going to get in trouble if you slip up once or twice. We're chill here in Wintreath!
For those participating in discussions on the RMB, newer nations especially, I want to show you that there are a couple of easy ways to avoid double, triple, or quadruple+ posting (posting more than one message in rapid succession).
To edit a message you've already posted to make some sort of correction:
Hover over a message you've already posted; 3 buttons will appear. Click the one called "Edit."
If you want to make a spelling correction or add to what you said, this is where you will do it.
If you want to reply to multiple people, you can do this too:
Hover over the messages you want to quote and click the "Quote" button on each.
This will insert multiple blocks of quotes into your message.
If it's been a couple of hours since your last post, you can mostly ignore this.
Long posts are completely okay, especially in Roleplay. However, sometimes people like to directly quote these messages despite only having a couple of things to say in response, and such makes their overall message overly long. Sometimes it isn't necessary to post them again as a quote, so a nifty little thing you can do is edit the quote itself. To clarify, this won't edit the original quote, but this WILL edit the quote as it appears in your message. For example, I can edit the following quote...
and change it to highlight an important word or phrase, like so...
or shorten it altogether to say
which still notifies the person you wish to notify.
However, an even better way to notify users is simply by tagging them like so...
@rikucharwhich displays as Rikuchar
Keep in mind that people you mention will not be notified if you add their name to an existing message through an edit.
Now, I know there's a difference between a conversation starter and a random post, but take the following for example: A number of users are talking about the Roleplay at hand, when suddenly a user barges in with...
This is not useful, productive, or related to the conversation, and it's doubtful that it's going to be very good at starting a new one. Please, keep posts relevant and useful!
I'm aware that this has been a controversial issue on the RMB in the past, so let's clear this up: Politics, in a very civil and moderated manner, is allowed. However, please do not start an echo chamber in the RMB, whether it be about liberal views, conservative views, or other such political content. We are trying to be as welcoming a region as we can possibly be, and sometimes politics can be a real stressor to people, especially newcomers.
Additionally, overtly racist, fascist, LGBT-phobic, or other such comments are absolutely not tolerated and will be dealt with at the discretion of RMB officials.
I hope this helps everyone, and remember: be civil, be respectful of government officials, and be courteous to newer members! Thank y'all so much for being such vibrant and active members of our beautiful region!
